" I thought you would have heard. Aeron Damphair has called a kingsmoot" .

" 我以为你已经听说了。伊伦·湿发号召举行选王会。"

Aeron rode on. " One wolf is much like the other" .

伊伦继续骑，" 新狼换旧狼，有何差别？"

" The command was given you, not Aeron Damphair" .

" 但任务是交给你的，不是给湿发伊伦。"

Aeron was pleased. It is better if he waits.

很好。等得越久，胜算越大。伊伦欣慰地想。

" If he was drowned, no blood was shed, " said Aeron.

学士和领主交换了个眼神。" 我必须尽快给派克答复，" 葛欧得•古柏勒道，" 湿发，我想听听你的建议。怎么说，臣服还是反抗？"

" No, " Aeron Damphair declared. " He must be given to the god. The old way" .

" 不行，" 湿发伊伦宣布。" 必须将他献给淹神。遵循古道。"

The boy looked to be no more than six-and-ten. " Aye, and which are you" ? Aeron demanded.

" 葛蒙德。葛蒙德•古柏勒，愿能取悦大人。"

Aeron Damphair's voice cut through the insults like a sword through cheese. " Now you must kill him" .

如利剑切割奶酪，湿发伊伦出声制止侮辱，" 杀了他。"

" Who shall rule the ironborn" ? Aeron Damphair called again. " Who shall be king over us" ?

" 谁能君临铁种，" 湿发伊伦叫道，" 谁将成为我们的王？"

" Only by the lights of those who smile at nothing" . He thought of his father and his uncle Aeron.

" 哼，在那些从不懂得欢笑的人眼里或许如此吧。" 他想起父亲和伊伦叔叔。

" Where is our brother Crow's Eye" ? the Lord Captain demanded of Aeron Damphair when the prayers were done.

完毕之后，司令官问湿发伊伦，" 我们的哥哥鸦眼何在？"

" The waves will speak, " said Aeron Damphair as he turned away. " Listen to the waves, brother" .

" 浪涛会传达淹神的意旨，" 湿发伊伦背转身去，" 仔细倾听大海的声音，哥哥。"

The youth who admitted him was the image of Gormond, whose horse he'd taken. " Which one are you" ? Aeron demanded.

" 葛蓝。我父亲在等您。"

Sixty years ago, this one might well have won the favor of the moot, Aeron thought, but his hour is long past.

放在六十年前，这家伙或能胜任，伊伦心想，可惜他现在太老了。

Aeron was almost at the door when the maester cleared his throat, and said, " Euron Crow's Eye sits the Seastone Chair" .

湿发猛然转身。厅内寒气陡增。鸦眼在半个世界之外。两年前巴隆放逐了他，并发下毒誓，如果他回来就要他的命。" 说。" 他沙哑地道。

Only when his arms and legs were numb from the cold did Aeron Greyjoy struggle back to shore and don his robes again.

直到四肢在冰冷的盐水中冻得麻木，伊伦·葛雷乔伊方才挣扎着返回海滩，披上袍子。

Aeron Damphair raised his arms. " And the waters of wrath will rise high, and the Drowned God will spread his dominion across the green lands" !

伊伦·葛雷乔伊高举双手：" 汪洋的怒火终将爆发，伟大的淹神将在青绿之地获得威权！"

Uncle Aeron was relentless. " When he spits on you, he spits on all of us. He spits on the Drowned God. He must die" .

" 他吐你口水，就是吐我们大家。他胆敢向神圣的淹神吐唾沫。杀无赦。"

The drowned men began to slam their driftwood cudgels one against the other. " Damphair" ! they cried. " Damphair King! Aeron King! Give us Damphair" !

伊伦摇摇头。" 如果一位父亲有两个儿子，他给了一个儿子斧头，给了另一个渔网，他想让谁成为战士？"

Theon knelt. He had a purpose here, and might need Aeron's help to achieve it. A crown was worth a little mud and horseshit on his breeches, he supposed.

席恩跪下来。他此行有更重要的目标，说不定还需要伊伦助他一臂之力。为了王冠，裤子上多点泥巴和马粪也值得，他心想。
